The MDM2 onco-protein is over expressed in human cancer cells and it promotes tumorigenesis by directly blocking the function of the p53 tumor suppressor. Studies also indicate that MDM2 regulates cell prolifer-ation via p53 independent mechanisms. MTBP (Mdm2 [Two] Binding Protein) was identified by a yeast two-hybrid screen as an MDM2 binding protein (1). MTBP has been reported to modulate cell cycle progression by a p53 independent mechanism and suppress MDM2-mediated p53 degradation when ectopically expressed in cells (1,2). The human MTBP gene localizes to 8q24 (3) and MTBP RNA is expressed in a wide range of tissues, with highest being in the thymus, testes and ovaries (1).
